Mayor Adams to ride along with NYPD after vetoing How Many Stops act
NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) -- Mayor Eric Adams is expected to ride along with police Saturday night to convince City Council members to not override his veto on the How Many Stops Act.
The mayor has asked other council members to join the ride-along, and most have refused protesting his vetoing of the act.
The bill would require police to record more information about stops they make.
Adams argued that the bill would slow down police work and put officers in awkward situations of having to ask for names, contact information, and even racial data during routine patrols and emergencies.
Adams vetoed the bill last week, but the City Council has the votes to override the veto. In an interview with PIX on Politics, Justin Brannon, a member of city council leadership -- says the council will override the mayor's veto.
That vote is scheduled for Tuesday.
